Sample cover letter for Internship position at UN Volunteers
Internship
GOT THE JOB? Yes
Hereby I wish to apply for the UN Volunteer assignment in Burkina Faso with TOR
number 8: Advisor in on line database}.
To begin with I think it is a really interesting opportunity for university students
to take part in the UN Volunteer programme in order to complete our formation and to
know how the reality in other countries is, chiefly if we are interested in international
development cooperation. Of course it means also a great opportunity for local
organizations which will get the benefits of a technical specialized volunteer. Thus,
I have chosen to apply for this assignment according to its requirements and my personal
skills.
Regarding my computer knowledge I feel proud of studying in my university,
since I have learnt not only many of the technologies and languages used nowadays, but also
I have acquired the capability of learning new technologies fast and incorporating them to my
daily work. Thereby, I have knowledge about PHP, MySQL, Python, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and
most of the technologies used in Web Programming and on line database systems.
On the other hand, as I am volunteer since 2000, I have
a good knowledge about youth associationism and tools to promote it. Besides, I have participated
in several local, national and international meetings about young leadership, cultural
diversity, non-discrimination, etc. as my organization representative and/or trainer.
The above arguments are why I think I can accomplish the targets of the assignment in a good way,
furthermore, it would be very profitable for my personal experience and my professional
future since I would like to aim my career to international development cooperation.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if details regarding my CV or this
application letter are unclear.
